Siobhán asked for advice on workload. This is something many teachers struggle with! I don’t know if any of this thread will help academics, but maybe. My wife will tell you I used to work late every night and on weekends too. Not anymore. 🧵

I just finished Demon Copperfield. Written by a woman and won a Pulitzer but yeah, practically the same synapses.

It's the better part of The Norton Anthology of American Literature.

Men love emotional art but just the one note:

Basically written by someone coming home after hunting and sitting in front of a typewriter with a bottle of bourbon and getting maudlin about the fact they will die alone because they're mean, selfish alcoholics.

That shit sells.

Cobra Kai wouldn't miss us

I fell you. I've got all this skill and chrome intended to slow time while I do death from above moves, but mainly I hide behind a corner and kill everything with smart weapons.

I love that it seems so important where to spend your skill points but also you can put them wherever you want and it's fun

I was this guy's grandmother in a past life and can confirm that everything really is all about him.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

Live a life that Speaker Johnson refuses to honor.

Students, as you can see clearly in your syllabus, chapters 2, 3 and 6 contain forbidden knowledge. Reading them may cause you to rebel against this university, the state, and your family.
I'm therefore legally required to urge you not to read or discuss any parts of those chapters.

Get em Nick. My local would really like this work.

Cover of old stained book. OFFICIAL PLUMBING CODE OF THE CITY OF DETROIT N° 122 ADOPTED AUGUST 21, 1956 EFFECTIVE AUGUST 30, 1956 REPRINTED JULY 1, 1964

A plumbing engineer friend and colleague in Detroit just dug this up for me, which contains some information on the ‘Detroit single stack’. This is a single stack configuration but prohibits WC connections.

I think Maschine and Alki software are both cheaper too.

My kids, God bless them, will occasionally give me fashion feed back and I nod and thank them. But let's be honest, I'm not about to start dressing to impress some mentally ill virgin.

I mean run a campaign. Change a law. Win some shit. They won't want to do 1:1 if they're on doors 3 days a week and they won't want to chat yoga if they're busy phoning for dollars.

I'm not really interested in soap operas. If I was I would watch them in Spanish instead of whatever this is.

This seems like a 20th century problem. I'm afraid most people primarily receive their news from option algorithms.

They made because
1. She stuttered
2. They don't understand what she said.

Nice I'm guessing I can find Channel 253 there as well?

I quit Spotify because it's evil.

What's the best place to listen to podcasts?

I'm looking for @patrickwyman.bsky.social and others like him.

In one old plumbing joke the apprentice asks the old timer why plumbing is spelled with a B and the old timer explains that you can work for a living or think for a living but it's better not to do both.

Housing prices must be super low.

Ask the bot a question on a subject in which you're an actual expert. The results are pretty compelling.

I'm teaching my kids about AI with a magic 8 ball. The difference is the 8 ball isn't as unswervingly confident in its own bull shit.

Beautiful.

He's awful. Get Boone. His quest line is solid.

Honest Hearts DLC is better than the main story

Yeah the rich be like that...

"No one thought the poor more undeserving than the poor themselves." -M. Desmond

It makes me think maybe our ideas about justice are just our minds struggling to make sense of an absurd and arbitrary world.
